Apple made a mistake today. That is undeniable. They tried to do too much and it didn't work out. It happens, no one's perfect.
But I find it sad looking around these forums and seeing people curse Apple out for ruining their lives. Apple put forth an effort to help YOU get what you want as quickly as possible. You complain that they shouldn't have done everything in one day. OK, then what do you suggest, releasing everything on different days? OK, then Apple could have released the update for iPhone users today, and Touch users tomorrow, or vice versa, and in any case, people would have complained. They know you would have complained, so they tried to satisfy you, not annoy you.
Apple tried to have a fair day for everyone in the world, so that every iPhone and iPod Touch user would be able to have the brand new stuff the same day. It backfired on them. Could they have planned it better? Probably. But don't curse them like they're a terrible company. Look at the device you are dying to have updated. In your hand you hold one of the greatest products ever to fit in your pocket, made by the same company you are cursing right now. They provide you with an amazing product, then turn on them when a software update, which you can live without, is running a little late.
What's the worst here? You have to wait one extra day? You can survive. Somehow, I believe we will all be able to get on with our daily lives for the next day or two without this update. And I'm sure that Apple is working very hard to, once again, provide you with what you want so bad by getting the update up as soon as possible. Apple isn't trying to annoy you. But hey, that's life. Super Monkey Ball can wait until tomorrow.
So for the people on these forums flipping out at Apple, relax. This is not the end of the world. Just turn on your iPod (or iPhone), put on "Three Little Birds" by Bob Marley, and enjoy yourself
